Giveaway: $140 K-5 science package from Be Naturally Curious
Note: This giveaway has ended; thanks for your interest!
Welcome to a spring science giveaway–sponsored by Be Naturally Curious.
From Valerie at Be Naturally Curious:
“I am a mom to two energetic and inquisitive young girls and also happen to be a former college Biology professor.
One of my greatest passions in life is to help all kids experience the joy of learning science and exploring nature!
I believe this is best done by focusing on concepts and reinforcing learning with multiple, non-traditional teaching techniques, which is why I started Be Naturally Curious, creating science and nature mini-courses for kids grades K-5.
I love to share and discuss ideas about science and learning on our Facebook page —please connect with us!”
“I’ve enlisted the help of several other scientists, many of whom are also moms, to make mini-courses on really important and fascinating scientific concepts (these are the real thing—nothing watered down!).
Current mini-courses include:
- Take Off with Airplane Science
- A Wide World of Vertebrates
- A Butterfly’s Evening Adventure
- Freddie and His Ocean Friends
- Molecules are Everywhere
- The Adventures of Carbon
- Discovering DNA
- Mighty Magnets
- Life in the Desert
- See with your Ears!
- Our Neighbor, the Moon!
- Amazing Animal Migrations
-
Plate Tectonics: The Changing Continents
-
The Scoop on Sharks
They are designed to give parents the tools to teach higher-level scientific concepts to all styles of learners. Whether you have a kinesthetic learner or a visual one, your child can master everything from molecules and DNA to ecosystems and the carbon cycle.”
“As moms ourselves, we specifically designed the courses so they can be done easily at home or on a trip with minimal supplies—most materials can be cut directly from the course print out. We believe science can be done anywhere!
Each mini-course focuses on a different scientific concept, whether it be how airplanes fly or how dolphins echolocate.
Every mini-course is designed to appeal to all kinds of learners and a wide range of ages (grades K-5), and includes a beautifully illustrated story, a board or card game, a movement-based activity, a craft or modeling activity, and an experiment or outdoor exploration activity.
Try them with all the kids in your family—each person has his or her own best way to learn.
Each mini-course also includes additional resources to allow kids to follow their curiosity (the most important thing we can develop!) and concept badges kids can add to their Science Tool Kits (print out included in each mini-course.)”
The prize
One Simple Homeschool reader will win a complete set of Be Naturally Curious mini-courses (worth $140), in PDF format!
PDFs can be printed in their entirety or in part for the activity materials.

Good morning! I have a 9 year old who would love Discovering DNA and a 2.5 year old who would enjoy Our Neighbor, The Moon!
My kids are 7, 5, and 1. They would love Freddie and His Ocean Friends. Thanks for the chance to win!
These look fabulous! I struggle with including science into our homeschool week. I’m teaching our 8 and 9 year old kiddos and they would both love any of the animal courses 🙂
This curriculum looks so fun! My 5 year old would be so excited to do so many of these units: ocean friends, sharks, airplanes, echolocation! My 8 year old would be into the DNA and plate tectonics. Thank you for the chance to win.
My kids are 7, 6, 4, and 7mos. They would love the butterfly’s evening adventure. Such fun material! So thankful for the mom’s who write beautiful curriculum like this!
10,9,6
DNA
I have a 7 and 9 year old (and 3 and 1) who just asked for a unit on chemistry, so the molecules unit would be a hit!
My kids will be 8,6,4 and baby next year. They would really love the butterfly and magnet study. We were looking about doing some of these studies next year so it would be great timing!
My darling dozen are ages 2-17, and it would be one of my 5 year olds who would love, love, love the airplane science kit! He gets to go flying this week with a friend of ours! 🙂
My kids are 5, 2, and NB. We love science in our homeschool day but with a new baby I have less time to plan. Would love the magnet kit!
My kids are 8 , 6, and 4, and they would LOVE the sharks topic. 🙂
Amazing Animal Migration! My kids are 4,2, and infant
My kids are 7, 5, 3 (and under). The 7 year old would be into Ocean Friends, and the 5 year old would be all about Airplane Science. We bought and used Vertebrates in the past and really enjoyed all the activities.
My kids are 7, 5, and 2 and they would LOVE butterfly’s evening adventure. We have been reading a great book about butterflies and we are all very interested in them right now.
My kids are 8 and 5. They would enjoy take off with airplane science. They are currently building flying machines.
What a fun giveaway! My 7yo son would love the magnets kit, and my 9yo daughter would enjoy the ocean animals.
I have two kids, ages 4 and 10. They would both adore magnets.
I have four kids, it my school aged ones are 5 and 7. We would love to explore Take Off with Airplane Science! My son loves airplanes and is always experimenting with wing design!
My kids are almost 5 and almost 7 and they’d love the molecules kit! They are really into the small building blocks that make up their worlds. There’s just something about tiny things… Thanks for the giveaway.
I shared it on FB!
These look like so much fun! My boys are 5 (entering K this year), 3, and 1. I think they would all love the magnet one a lot! They love Magic School Bus though, so I know they’d enjoy all of them!
my kids are 12, 11, 9, 8, 4, 1. I think they would be interested in the DNA course as our youngest child is currently getting some genetic testing done.
Good morning! I have a couple of boys and a physics fiend girl who would be interested in the airplane science lesson.
My kids are 5, 8 and 11. They would be most interested in Our Neighbour, the Moon.
These are really awesome. I have a 13. 11. 4 and 2 year old. My 11 year old likes these and would like the moon one at the moment.
